CHRISTMAS CARDS

I had a great day yesterday, Amy, Jan and I spent the day stamping. We went to Jans at 10am and left at 5.30(every stampers dream.lol). It was great, these are a few of the cards that I made(thought it was time to make a dent in the Christmas cards I need to make this year). Love this set season of joy. Its a pity that the mini had finished now, how ever its one of my favorite sets and one I will always use. Just click on any of the images to get a closer look.

I did these three the same just changed the colours a little. I have a few more that I haven't quite finished yet. Now I'm looking forward to Christmas because I'm a little more organised.

DECORATIONS

Yeh. It's almost December, and time to decorate the tree. Christmas has always been one of my favorite times of the year. It's been a busy year this year and the time has gone almost to fast. So I thought it was about time to make some new decorations. I just finished making these tonight, love this DSP wintergreen. I will make a few more of these to put in my salon to go with the silver tinsel I have already have. I just need to get some dashing DSP to make some for my tree. Well time for bed its getting late.(so much for my early night I set out to have.)lol.

KWERNER CHALLENGE #32

Yeh, there is a first time for everything, I finally got time to do one of the kwerner challengers. I have been wanting to take part for awhile but always ran out of time. I love the colours that that Kristina has picked this week they go great together. We don't have riding hood red so I've used real red. I used season of joy stamp set out of the spring mini. Its hard to see from the photo but I added dazzling diamonds to the star on the Christmas tree, the little flower on the tree, and the snowflakes in the background. I only added a little bit of very vanilla, a bit of ribbon and some brads finish it off nicely. If you want a closer look click on the photo it will make it bigger. If you want to check out the other entries for this challenge here is the link to Kristina's bolg.

Lovely as a tree

I went to Megans(my upline) for our monthly meeting last Thursday. We usually do a make and take. Judy was doing this months. We started off by stamping the bird out of natural beauty in black then we embossed it with versa mark and clear embossing powder. We could then stamp around it. I picked as lovely as a tree thinking it could be a Christmas card. Mine always turns out different to every body else's. I have a habit of changing mine around. Just can't help myself.lol. To finish it off I used my 2-way glue pen and added some dazzling diamonds to the trees and a little on the ground.

CHOCOLATE BAR HOLDER

Just a quick post tonight, its been a long week for me. I just finished making these cute little bags for two special girls. I've put a cadbury favorite in each one. They don't really fit very well, they are a bit small. I will get something else at the supermarket tomorrow. If you would like to have a go at making these here is a great video tutorial.

CUTE LITTLE PURSE

Today I have my monthly upline meeting at Megans place. This month we had to make a bag, this is what I came up with. Its only little, I will use it to put a couple of stamps in at my next stamp club for the door prise. Its been a very busy week for me this week this week , that's what happens when you have a week away. I was hoping to do the kwerner challenge this week, I'll have a go later to see if I can come up with something. You never know I might post twice in one day.lol.

file box cards

I went up to my craft room today and I thought yeh what new set out of the mini shall I use. I picked Eastern Blooms. As I started having a play around I remembered that I hadn't made any cards to go in my little file box, So I ended up doing three so they fit in nicely. The cards are only 3"by 3 3/4". It's such a cute little set, I just have to make some envelopes. Another gift ready for Christmas. The DSP is out of fall flowers set and the card I used is old olive, really rust and whisper white. Eastern blooms flower stamped in white craft ink and the saying at the bottom out of short and sweet stamped in really rust ink. I used dimensionals to paper toll out the flowers. And to finish it off old olive ribbon.
